His tape is kind of hard to evaluate.  Yes, he makes a lot of TFL and is constantly in the bacfield.  But a lot of that is because the Don Bosco DL is so big and dominant that OL can’t get to the DB LBs.

That said, it is easy to see he is a really good athlete.  Excellent lateral agility.  Fights off blocks well.  Uses his arms well.  Seems very well coached for a junior in HS.

I would say he is a prototypical SU LB for the 3-3-5.  Think he will be at least 230 when he reports to preseason camp as a frosh.  I see him as a bigger version of Stefon Thompson, and a guy who will likely play most of his college career in the 240-250 range.  Perfect for bouncing between LB and the DL.

This is the kind of player Coach Long needs to use the 3-3-5 to full effectiveness.

Love getting players from Don Bosch that BC and Maryland wanted.  Have been begging Coach Babers to hire an assistant with strong NJ ties for a long time.  He finally did and it is paying major dividends.

I think if we go in a time machine 2 years in the future, we will be pointing back to this off season and the hires Dino made as the key that accelerated the turnaround of the program.

It is an exciting time to be a Syracuse fan.
